Elon Musk is, more or less, a rogue state. His intentions are self-serving and nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

The most charitable interpretation is that Musk exists at various points along the Dunning Kruger scale.

Plutocracy is not enough, because nothing is ever enough for the handful of men who have everything.

The EU owes its citizens not to play nice or mete out a meek slap on the wrist over the alleged legal violations by Musk and X that are under investigation.

It's to firmly and intently show that even interplanetary amounts of wealth don't mean impunity, and that some things like democracy are not for sale.
